Williams, the Take That alum and home celebrity (who solely actually cracked American consciousness along with his “Millennium” video, an inescapable VH1 presence in its day) is on the market doing press rounds to advertise the film. In the present day, that course of has yielded a hell of a pullquote.
In an interview with the Guardian, Williams was requested about his 2004 libel lawsuit, when he sued a tabloid for publishing an interview along with his “secret homosexual lover” and received each monetary damages and an apology.

Do you, as a homosexual individual, sue the newspaper?” Cragg answered that he wouldn’t sue however can be irritated about being falsely represented. This impressed Williams to say, “I used to be irritated. I used to be extra unhappy. Not about homosexual accusations as a result of look, I’ve finished every little thing however suck a cock. Actually, you’ve by no means met any person that wishes to be homosexual as a lot as me.”
